Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Still confused and asking more questions, sorry

Hi sweetie, I agree with some of the stats. I showed signs of IBS after I contracted a severe intestinal bacterial infection caused by the common stomach flu. WOW all that in one sentence.I was a person that could eat and drink what ever I wanted and not worry about it. My IBS is not as severe as others on the board. My mother has IBS for years and hers was a outcome of a Hysterectomy(Spelling) with cancer, and then some on set of food poision, I just found out the other day that my moms only sister has IBS D and it gets pretty bad, reason just born with it. I have three sons and my youngest since birth has dealed with IBS the pains and then explosive bowel movements. He will be nine this year and he is now understanding what to do to help. He loves to try my recipes and is stable most of the time. He loves the teas and they help out great. My husband even enjoys it!Your weight will have nothing to do with geting IBS, your diet may have a direct effect on it.I believe being younger or catching the problem earlier in our life can help us get stable and stay that way. Bottom line is we all react differently to our IBS. But I swear, if I hadn't found this website, I beleive my IBS would be a effecting my life in a negative way today.
